River-floodplain ecosystems (RFEs) provide multiple ecosystem services. However, their
importance may be underestimated because they are not summarized yet. In this paper, we …

Abstract The Reynolds Functional Groups (RFG) classification scheme is an informative and
widely used method in ecological studies of freshwater phytoplankton. It clusters species …

Species diversity is affected by processes operating at multiple spatial scales, although the
most relevant scales that contribute to compositional variation and the temporal shifts of the …

Cyanobacterial toxic blooms are a worldwide problem. The Río de la Plata (RdlP) basin
makes up about one fourth of South America areal surface, second only to the Amazonian …

Riverine floodplains are among the most diverse and dynamic ecosystems, but river
regulation measures have altered the natural hydrological regime threatening their …

We report a dataset of phytoplankton in the Congo River, acquired along a 1700‐km stretch
in the mainstem during high water (HW, December 2013) and falling water (FW, June 2014) …

One of the ongoing debates around metacommunity ecology is to what extent stochastic and
deterministic processes act on community assembly. We explored the influence of both …

Phytoplankton play a crucial role in energy flow and carbon cycling in aquatic ecosystems;
however, exploring the driving factors influencing phytoplankton, especially in heavily …

Cyanobacterial toxic blooms are a worldwide problem. In Río de la Plata basin, anthropic
eutrophication and dam construction have promoted an increase in cyanobacteria blooms …

Protists play a fundamental role in all ecosystems, but we are still far from estimating the total
diversity of many lineages, in particular in highly diverse environments, such as freshwater …
